Lyrics

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take those sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
Blackbird fly
Blackbird fly
Blackbird fly
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take those broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
Blackbird fly
Blackbird fly
Blackbird fly
Blackbird fly
Spread your wings and dare to fly
While you are waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Written by: John Lennon, Paul McCartney
